Michelle Williams Asks For Peace And Privacy

A couple days ago I wrote a post about my shameful fascination with Michelle Williams in the aftermath of Heath Ledger’s death. After remaining mum while weathering the non-stop harassment of paparazzi, she has issued a statement through her publicist, saying:

“Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken. I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up with the best memories of him.”
